By God the Truth, verily he angels of the Supreme Assembly
pray for thee every morn and eve and announce to thee glad-tidings! O blessed
art thou who hast devoted thyself to diffusing the fragrances of God! Know thou
that, verily, thy Lord will surely strengthen thy hands and assist thee through
the hosts which are hidden from the sight of the heedless ones, and will give
the victory through a numerous army from the Supreme Assembly and will
illuminate thy heart with the rays shining from the Kingdom of Abha, the Most
Glorious! O maid-servants of God! Gird up thy loins, strengthen thy back, be
not discouraged or grieved if people are pouring the arrows of scorn and blame
thee, insomuch as in this thou wilt follow the example of those who have
endured every tribulation and calamity.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of
‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 2’)
